Team Seattle-The Heart of Racing and Alex Job Racing are returning to the Tudor United SportsCar Championship in 2015. Piloting the GT Daytona class No. 23 Team Seattle–The Heart of Racing Porsche 911 GT America for the 2015 season are drivers Ian James and Mario Farnbacher. The team will make its debut at Daytona International Raceway for the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

“Ian and Mario have brought a nice mix of veteran leadership and youthful exuberance to the 23 Team Seattle-The Heart of Racing Porsche and our underlying effort to support the Seattle Children’s Hospital,” said Don Kitch Jr., founder of The Heart of Racing. “We had a great finish in Detroit and we were very close to the podium a number of other times. At COTA, we led more than half of the event until we had a fluke brake issue. We have the team to compete for the championship in 2015.”

“I am honored to have the Team Seattle-The Heart of Racing program continuing into 2015,” said Alex Job, Alex Job Racing team owner. “We have a lot of momentum under the leadership of Gabe [Newell] and Don that is difficult to find in this sport. Ian and Mario work well together, and our finishes this year did not really reflect how well we ran. I am looking forward to a very competitive 2015 Tudor season.”

The 2015 season marks 19 years Team Seattle has been combining the passion of racing with raising money to help the Seattle Children’s Hospital and pediatric cardiac health care nationally.

The Tudor United SportsCar Championship Petit Le Mans finale will be streamed live at imsa.com starting at 11 a.m. ET Saturday, Oct. 4.

Fox Sports 2 will pick up the race in progress at 3 p.m. ET. Live streaming can also be viewed on the Fox Sports GO mobile app.
